On our third night driving Route 66, we stayed in Rolla, Mo at this Quality Inn. I was a little apprehensive about staying after reading a couple reviews but I'm glad we did. The price was right and the rooms had just been remodeled. Ours was very clean and the mattress looked new (yes, I always check the mattress). Susan checked us in and handled the three people waiting for rooms, questions we had regarding some addresses and the phone calls with patience. My only negative is that since we were on the second floor we could occasionally hear the people in the room above us walking around so maybe get a room on the third floor. This is the only reason I did not give them an excellent.

We stopped at this hotel just for a place to sleep on our way home from California. During the night, their were a bunch of drunk kids running up and down the hall yelling and slamming doors. When we called the front desk to complain, the person came up and told the kids to be quiet. My husband watched through the peep hole in the door and when the kids asked who complained, the front desk person pointed to our door. After that, the drunk kids banged on our door several times. We even heard them stick a key card into the lock. I was actually a little afraid of retaliation. The next morning we politely told the front desk about our horrible night. It was two girls who weren't there the night before. They refused to even acknowledge us and avoided our questions completely. They simply gave us a business card with the corporate phone number and website on it. I understand that a rowdy group of kids is not the hotel's fault. I just wish they would have handled it more firmly and more professionally.

The room was clean and and neat, and had been recently updated. The bed was comfortable and the staff attentive. The complimentary breakfast was okay. Not spectacular, but I don't really have high expectations in that department.

The only thing I have that REMOTELY resembles a complaint is the restaurant recommendation. When asked where to find good food in the area, the woman behind the counter recommended a steak buffet place just up the road from the hotel. If you stay at the motel, suffice it to say that you should skip the tasteless, sub-par steak place.

This hotel was low-average price and the tub was dirty and the carpet around th edges were dirty, but for the price we paid, I've stayed in worse. I just always wore my shoes on the carpet, because it felt grungy, too. The hotel advertised and "extensive continental" breakfast at the hotel; it actually includes 2 types of cereal, muffins, coffee, juice, bagels, and a waffle machine. Would I stay there again? Probably, if low cost is a consideration.
